Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Honoroak

Landscapers Honoroak is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. As a landscaping business, we recognise that our activities may involve labour-intensive work, seasonal hiring, subcontracted services, and materials sourcing, all of which require careful oversight.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. This applies to every part of Honoroak landscapers operations, including recruitment, procurement, site activities, and supplier relationships. We expect our employees, contractors, and business partners to comply with all applicable laws and to act ethically at all times. Where any concern is identified, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include terminating a supplier relationship or reporting the matter to the relevant authorities.

Our commitment is supported by internal controls designed to reduce risk. We carry out due diligence on new suppliers and assess ongoing partners based on the nature of the goods or services provided, the countries from which they source, and the labour practices they use. We also review labour providers, subcontractors, and material suppliers to ensure that Landscapers Honoroak works only with organisations that share our standards.

Supplier audits form a key part of our approach. We reserve the right to audit suppliers, either directly or through evidence-based review, to confirm that appropriate employment practices are in place. These audits may include checks on worker age verification, wage records, working hours, right-to-work documentation, and accommodation arrangements where relevant. We expect suppliers to maintain transparent records and to cooperate fully with any review undertaken by our team.

Training is provided to employees involved in hiring, purchasing, and contract management so they can identify warning signs of exploitation. We encourage a culture of vigilance in which staff understand how to recognise indicators such as withheld documents, restricted movement, debt bondage, or unexplained deductions from pay. By increasing awareness across the business, Honoroak landscaping strengthens its ability to prevent abuse before it occurs.

We also make sure that our contracts include obligations relating to ethical labour practices. These requirements state that suppliers must not use forced, compulsory, or trafficked labour and must ensure that workers are treated with dignity and paid in line with legal standards. Any breach of these terms is treated as serious misconduct and may lead to immediate review.

We provide clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees and suppliers may report suspected violations through internal management routes, and all reports are handled confidentially where possible. Anyone raising a concern in good faith is protected from victimisation. Where a report suggests that modern slavery may be present, we will act swiftly to assess the facts and determine the necessary response.

Our governance framework assigns responsibility for oversight to senior management, who monitor compliance and ensure that appropriate corrective measures are taken. The business reviews recruitment, procurement, and subcontractor management practices to make sure ethical standards are embedded throughout. This approach helps Landscapers Honoroak maintain consistent control across projects and supply relationships.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and business practices. Each annual review considers risk areas, supplier performance, training activity, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures accordingly so that Honoroak landscapers continues to strengthen its response to modern slavery risks.
